Pleas of surviving relatives: After losing contact with Montaser, Marwa, and Moataz on July 5, 2025, their relatives launched urgent appeals for help. On July 28, one of Marwa’s brothers living in Russia reported receiving a call from her phone, raising hopes that the siblings might still be alive. This prompted the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate to organize a vigil on July 29 outside the Solidarity Media Center in Gaza City, calling for immediate rescue efforts. The family appealed to UNOCHA and the Red Cross to intervene, but the Red Cross stated they only evacuate living individuals, while UNOCHA said the Israeli military was delaying access. These appeals reflected the desperation of Montaser’s family, who pleaded for international pressure to rescue their loved ones before it was too late.
